Potato Pancakes

Potato Pancakes

Ingredients:

Approximately 10 large potatoes

3 medium onions 

3 eggs

3 tbsp. flour

salt and pepper

Oil or Vegetable Shortening 

Peel potatoes and onions. Cut in chunks and put small amounts of potatoes and onions in a blender (this is what we use) and chop/blend up. Add 1 egg and 1 tbsp. of flour while blending. Mix in salt and pepper, depending how much you want or to taste, 

Keep adding more potatoes and onion and chop till you get just about a blender full. 

Put a 2 to 3 tbsp. oil or vegetable shortening in electric frying pan. Put on medium heat and use large spoon to take potato mixture out of blender and drop in frying pan. Flatten them slightly with spatula and fry till golden brown on each side.

Repeats these steps after you get the first batch of potato pancakes in the frying pan. This makes approximately 36 pancakes. You could cut the recipe in half to make less. We like them a lot and my boys are big eaters! They are also good leftover. Actually my son made these since he like them a lot and he likes them with sour cream on them! You have them with butter or even applesauce with them.

Travis Making Potato Pancakes

I have twin sons who are 21 years old and one likes to cook occasionally.  If Travis gets hungry for something he just makes it himself.  He got hungry for potato pancakes recently and so he made potato pancakes.  Travis did everything himself.  First he peeled the potatoes and onions and cut them in chunks and put them in a blender with a little flour, an egg, and salt and pepper,  and chopped them up.

All Ready For The Frying Pan

 Serious Cooking


Then he fried quite a few pans full of them.  Travis is good at cooking so I'm sure he won't have any problem when he moves out some day.  I told Travis I was going to put some pictures on my blog and he didn't care, so here they are.  The potato pancakes were good too!
